Year 3 Languages Achievement Standard

By the end of Year 4, students use Greek language to initiate structured interactions to share information related to the classroom and their personal worlds. They use modelled language to participate in spoken and written activities that involve planning. They locate and respond to key items of information in texts using strategies to help interpret and convey meaning in familiar contexts. They use modelled language and basic syntax to create texts.Students imitate sound combinations and rhythms of spoken Greek. They demonstrate understanding that Greek has non-verbal, spoken and written language conventions and rules to create and make meaning. They recognise that some terms have cultural meanings. They identify patterns in Greek and make comparisons between Greek and English. They understand that the Greek language is connected with culture, and identify how this is reflected in their own language(s) and culture(s).
